His face link, this is when he realises that Elena is in trouble. That they all are. I think this is the moment he knew that Katherine was always going to be one step ahead. I think it threw him off a bit. I think he was riding on the fact that he’d just killed Katherine’s right hand man.

I don’t understand why people hate him for that though. Mason did it to them first, okay, well Damon stabbed him but he didn’t kill him, did he? It was a warning more than anything. And then Mason almost DID kill the both of them. Damon is very protective, especially over Elena and Stefan. He killed Mason, not just because he was working with Kat, but also because he was trying to protect the two things he would die for.

Damon is not willing to let anything hurt the people he loves. No way, no how. Mason was a problem, because he was working with the enemy. Damon isn’t going after Tyler, even though he’s a to-be-werewolf. Why? Because he isn’t a threat to him or Elena or Stefan.

Damon has done a LOT of bad things. Some even I can’t justify, but killing Mason wasn’t just for kicks.

My thoughts excatly!

People are crying and bitching that Damon killed Mason, when Mason tried to kill, not only him, but his brother too JUST THE OTHER EPISODE! And he would've done it hadn't there come rescue for them. Oh, would he have.

Damon did not kill Mason without a reason or just because he was 'being a dick'. He did it in order to protect because he knew that Mason was a treath.

Do people seriously believe that something just as terrible wouldn't have gone down hadn't Damon killed Mason? Come on. Be realistic. Wake up. Katherine knew all about Stefan and Elena's little naive 'plan'. What did they think? That they could fight her? Please. Katherine made it pretty damn clear what was going to happen if they tried. They did, and they failed.

I liked Mason, and didn't want him to die, but he had to.

Exactly. I totally agree. I was never mad at him in the first place for killing him.

I am not hating on Damon for killing Mason, that became necessary. But, the reason it became necessary was because Damon is an idiot who provoked Mason even when he said that he wanted nothing to do with vampires.
And no it wasn't a warning. Damon thought that silver affected Mason, he tried to murder Mason. If that doesn't turn a person against you, I don't know what does.
Lol. Katherine didn't try to murder Jenna because of SE's dumb plan. She knew for Day 1 that the fight was fake, did she try to kill Jenna right then? No. Katherine is smarter than that. She turned Jenna into her little spy. The only reason she took the drastic step of killing Jenna was because Damon riled her up. She took it out on SE.

"I don't want you seeing Elena anymore. If you don't remove her from your life I will kill everyone that she loves while she watches."

Did he remove Elena from his life? No. Did Katherine (try to) kill someone that Elena loves? Yes.

It would've happened even if Damon hadn't riled her up. Perhaps not at that point, but it would've happened. No matter what made her do it, it wasn't played by her rules (SE's plan) and it was her intention all along.

So, no. She didn't actually only try to kill Jenna because of Damon.

I never said the plan wasn't stupid. But, Kat wasn't even close to done with Jenna. We will never know how long she would have kept Jenna around if Damon didn't rile her up and how circumstances would have changed in that time. But, right there, right then, it happened because Damon didn't think before taunting her.

That's my whole point. I JUST stated that it WOULDN'T have happened at that point that it did now. What I added was that it would've happened.
I did not involve anything with what could have been. I only said that it would have happened eventually... so technically, it was because of SE. See my point? Follow me? Ok, one more time. It would have happened.

Seriously. If you don't agree with me, I'm not asking you to.

No, I don't follow your point.
What I added was that it would've happened.
I did not involve anything with what could have been/
But, you did. We DO NOT know if Kat would've killed Jenna, if in that moment Damon didn't rile her up. So, while I am talking about how it 'could have been' that Jenna never died if Damon didn't taunt Kat, you are talking about how it 'could have been' that Jenna died anyway. Follow me now?

Don't remember forcing you to agree on my opinion either.

*facepalm* All right. My point is that Kat would have killed someone Elena loves eventually. Sooner or later. "I will kill EVERYONE that she loves":(suppressing lines, are we?) Here from taking the statement that Jenna would have died eventually. And wouldn't it have been Jenna, it would have been someone else that Elena loves. Does that make it less terrible? No.

And that was my only point all along. I'm not going to defend myself with it again.

It could have been somebody else if the fuckery that their plan was continued. Sure. Why does that matter to this discussion?
Okay,let's see:
What we know: Jenna stabbed herself because Damon riled Katherine up.
What we don't know but could have been: Jenna died anyway.

I am sorry I can't dumb it down any further. You stay delusional. Peace out.

You know what? I don't have the energy or time to fight with people like you just because I happen to see the same thing from a different angel. Peace out right back to you and your ego.

totally!

Damon isnt a saint.
He is vengeful and protective.

Mason had Stefan and Damon shot and almost staked. So yeah.... Damon was going to kill him. Expecting anything else from him is a little weird...

i def agree. that is the way Damon sees it.

EXACTLY!!! :D I wasnt even mad at him to begin with. I was actually pretty damn glad he got rid of Mason. He was protecting elena, stefan and himself... Kill or Be Killed, right? If he didnt off Mason, him sure Mason would have found another way... plus he WAS on the enemy side.

I almost agree....mostly i dont agree with ur statement about it being a warning when damon stabbed mason with silver. I do think he was trying to kill him buuuttttt i also dont think that mason was being truthful about the "truce" between him and damon..mason was after all working with katherine the whole time. so yeah i will agree that taking mason out was necessary and that damon did it to protect the people he cares about. stefan even agreed that they needed 2 take him out.

although i think damon made a mistake with riling up katherine, i dont think she did what she did because of what damon said 2 her. like she said she had a plan b(plan b being stabbing jenna) which means that if her plan with mason went wrong then she would have done that 2 jenna anyway...all damon did was force katherine's hand, causing her to go 2 plan b faster than she expected.....
i dont blame damon for what happened to jenna...actually i doubt katherine cared much about mason in the first place. i blame katherine, in the end it was her actions that hurt elena by causing jenna to stab herself. katherine compelled jenna to do that not damon. katherine is her own non-living person who can make her own choices. no one is responsible for her actions except herself.

Agree. Damon was trying to protect the town. He thought if Katherine had Mason her big master plan would be a success and it would impact Mystic Falls. But more than that, he was protecting Stefan and Elena. And while we know Damon attacked Mason first, just after Mason offered a peace offering, but I doubt it was legit, because he was working with Katherine! And Mason is just as bad, because he went and told the sheriff about the Salvatore's just after Stefan and he had just agreed to a truce. Mason is dead because he threatened the people Damon cared about, he hurt Stefan, and that's just something Damon can't forgive. So Mason's dead.

I don't care. Hot Mason is dead, and I am angry!
